When you were a kid, and I mean very young, what did you name your pets?

[joeybee12]

We were VERY creative (not!): Puffy, Snowy, Whitey, Midnight!!!!

The only original one was Yudi, which is Lithuanian for black, for our sweet black kitty.

1. We had a dachshund named Snoopy

and a black Lab name Kam, in honor of King Kamehameha...cause we lived in Hawaii.

Of course then we had a Peanut Butter and a Porky and lastly, my basset, Winifred.

7. Our beagle mix was Snooky...decided to just change a letter...n/t

[blueamy66]

28. beagles are so cute

Did Snooky beg at the high chair like Snoopy did? :-)

[joeybee12]

33. Sadly no, he didn't have that talent!

2. We just had goldfish; I named mine Flash.

[Flaxbee]

3. We had Taffy (dog), Mitty (cat) and Twit (cat). Later on I got into

Egyptian names, and we had Cleo, Ra, and a few others. That was from about 6 on. Before that, there were also many other sweet creatures - a Cinnamon, a Sneakers, Tasha, etc.

8. Whe we were three my twin brother and I won goldfish at a church fair

we named them Pixie and Dixie. They we great pets as far as gold fish go but one morning, shortly before we moved mom said they jumped into the toilet and swam out to San Francisco Bay. We tried to to find them for a couple of years. When we were four we got a cat we named Tiger and a dog named CoCo, after CoCo Chanel, grand dad had a women's clothing business, only Irish guy on the west coast in that business as far as any one knew.

[Mutley]

9. I had a dog called Smurf.

I did not name him that, though. The children of his previous owner did. :P

[seemunkee]

10. Spot (dog), Hammy(hamster), Hammy 2(hamster), Hammy3(hamster)

then we weren't allowed to get anymore hamsters.

[mnhtnbb]

15. I had a Hammy, too. He escaped his cage and one night my brother

reported waking up to dreaming a mouse was running over his face! We found Hammy that morning.

[RoadRage]

11. "Midnight" "Aspen" "Smokey" & "Nugget"

Midnight was a black lab
Aspen was a Great Pyrenese
Smokey was our grey Kitty
and Nugget was a gold Mutt dog who was super cute!

12. Marvin

I got a kitten for my 7th birthday and wanted to name him Oreo (he was black & white), but my mom refused, having learned her lesson from allowing my sister to name her cat Fuzzball. So she handed me a baby naming book and told me to pick a real name. I chose Marvin, because Marvin means "friend". (insert awwwwwwwww sound here)

[blondeatlast]

13. Jenny Carol Black Kitty--I was 3. And the family used that name too. nt

[LeftyMom]

16. Bob.

Seriously, that was my rabbit's name. I like to think of it as my dry, understated sense of humor peaking out really young.

[Ineeda]

17. a beautiful liver-spotted dalmatian with one blue eye and one brown.....

Spotty, of course. (No imagination back then.)

[Auggie]

18. Yours truly

[Jamastiene]

19. I had a cat named Jamie, a dog named Skokie,

2 goldfish named Blondie and Dagwood, and 3 black Moor fish named Bubbles, Bangles, and Beads. Later, I had 2 Hermit Crabs named Lurch and Gomez.

[Bertha Venation]

31. clever names for the Black Moors

:bounce:

[kimi]

20. A Siberian Husky

. . named Karnavonda's Korkodon King. He had to have a name which lived up to a long and distinguished pedigree, so we spent days poring over maps of Siberia. Called him Korki, though, not King.

One of our 4 present rabbits (started with 5 from the county fair, increased rapidly to 12, now back to 4), is named Mr. Fuzzy. My son named her that when he was 7. She's a lovely critter but not a mister and not fuzzy.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

21. I had 2 turtles when I was about 5. I named them Myrtle and Fertile.

[mwdem]

22. My rat terrier was Sandra Dee...

or Sandy.

[MilesColtrane]

23. I had an orange and white tabby...

I named Hercules, after the TV cartoon.

He was a crazy, scruffy, stray dog I found on Medford Drive. And then there was my kitty Sassafras. :hi:

[dropkickpa]

26. I named a cat Higgins after Magnum PIs butler

I was 5.

[unpossibles]

34. I had a cat named Simba

this was way before the Lion King. I got the name from old Tarzan movies.

[PassingFair]

35. "Fluffy"

That makes my porn-star name Fluffy Kensington.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

36. I once had a turtle I named Dustamina.

Named after the imaginary Dustamina Fan Factory.

Please don't ask me to explain. It won't make any more sense.

[Forkboy]

37. I had a cat for 17 years named...wait for it....Kitty.

So pet name originality was never a strong suit. :)

[LynneSin]

38. Suess

I was reading Dr. Suess at the time

[Arkansas Granny]

39. The first pet that I ever named myself was a cat named Corky.

I was about 5 years old and I don't know why I picked that name. He was also a sweet black kitty and was apparently content to let me hold him whichever way I managed to pick him up, upside down, rightside up or on his back. He was very gentle with me.
